On May 22, 2025, Bangladesh’s interim government, led by Muhammad Yunus, reversed its support for a proposed humanitarian corridor through Myanmar’s Rakhine State after Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman called it a threat to national sovereignty. The corridor, initially backed by Foreign Adviser Touhid Hossain, aimed to deliver aid to conflict-hit areas. However, it drew criticism for potentially serving foreign strategic interests. National Security Adviser Khalilur Rahman clarified that no such plan would proceed. General Zaman also urged elections by December 2025 and warned against civilian interference in military affairs, highlighting rising political-military tensions. (PC: AFP)
